Necrons are currently considered the worst codex aside from a pure GK army in all of Warhammer 40k. The Destroyer and Heavy Destroyer are among the units that keep their codex useable.
Now their Statlines are not all that impressive, the standard MEQ on a bike with I2, but they are "Necrons" so they get a WBB roll and count for Phase Out purposes which makes up for taking less Warriors.
And let's not forget about those guns the Destroyers have a 36" Str6 AP4 3 shots and the heavies get a 36" Str 9 ap 2 single shot. Both have the "Gauss" rule meaning a autowound on a 6 and and autoglance on a 6. This does not affect the Heavy Destroyer at all but it means the standard Destroyer can threaten anything placed on the board.
Destroyers are often used to demech the opponent resulting in more time for the warriors to shoot before being assaluted. While Str 6 is able to deal with the front armor on some transports the Destroyers excel in getting side armor on vehicles meaning that Chimera you could only glance can now be destroyed.
Tommorow I will post a Destroyer based list, and a Battlesuit based Tau list as well as Jetpack tactics.
